So, TF2 now runs on OS X.  And has a new offline "training mode", which sounds like a valiant attempt to stem the tide of mitten-wearing nooblets.   :awesome_for_real:

Also, if you play TF2 from a Mac this weekend (free weekend btw), you get in-game iPod earbuds.  Not sure if want.

I tried the training mode tonight and was disappointed.  The soldier's shooting range was a good start, but I'd have liked to have had it go on to show the basics of rocket jumping.  And have a similar training range for each other class that teaches you how to use its signature weapon.

I want to check it out, because me playing TF2 is comedic, and not because of my FPS skills (which are rusty, but I did play competitively years ago). Stuff like tricks for each class and map hints/walkthroughs would be more useful than target practice for all but the most total newb. How to lay out engineer emplacements, sniffing out spies as a pyro, proper sniping techniques, etc. There's so much more to playing fps than the actual shooting.
